I have returned to the land of the online. It took longer to set up internet access in my current location than initially predicted. I am here only for the rest of the month, but the cats are with me and the building reminds me positively of New Haven and New York City, so I am trying to enjoy it without getting too attached.
I am pleased to be able to report that my poems "About Building" and "At the Meyerhold Theatre" have been accepted by Through the Gate. The first was loosely inspired by William Wyler's The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) and my grandparents' wartime histories; the second comes straight from my favorite photograph of Shostakovich. This is the sort of news that makes checking e-mail worthwhile.
Today is my brother's birthday observed. I have bought him some chocolate mice and elephants from Burdick's to decorate his cake with. They will live in strawberry shortcake harmony until the candles are blown out.
